I just saw on TV. What a terrible tragedy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Po...e_Tu-154_crash there's an entire list of people on board there, quite a few politicians/government official types.
Wow.
You would think they would have a policy about not letting so many high-ups travel together. Or maybe they just have crummier official plane service. But that's a truly massive loss, presumably it won't be too destabilizing.
The article said that the plane was 20-year-old Tupolev Tu-154. Crummy's as good a word as any.
In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.

The Rules
Copper- behave toward others to elicit treatment you would like (the manipulative rule)
Gold- treat others how you would like them to treat you (the self regard rule)
Platinum - treat others the way they would like to be treated (the PC rule)
Hardly, and if it was they downed the wrong plane. The people who died didn't really hold too much actual power. Also new presidential elections have already been announced.
Congratulations America
Wow, has this kind of thing ever happened with government people and not just rock bands?
@GGT here is a list:

Good gravy, that's a real blow to Poland.
If Russia invades like they did with Georgia, we know why the plane went down.
I enjoy blank walls.

Did you already forget that?
I enjoy blank walls.
Did you forget that Poland doesn't share a boarder with Russia?
Did you forget that Russia doesn't have any grievances with Poland likely to result in war?
Did you forget that Poland has a far larger and more capable military than Georgia, featuring hundreds of tanks including the modern Leopold 2?
Did you forget that Poland is a member of the European Union?
Did you forget that it was a member of NATO?
Did you forget that blowing up this plane basically serves no useful military purpose as a prelude to invasion, apart from maybe putting Polish security forces on high alert?

You forgot that it does.
Besides, I was making a snide dig at Russia in general, there's no need to nitpick.
